FINE dining services such as ‘Golden Arrow’ have offered a first class silver service experience that is highly sought after by many, and now the Bluebell Railway has opened up its own trains to a new demographic of customers – thanks to the completion and launch into service of its new accessible Pullman carriage.
Outshopped in 1923 as a third class kitchen car has undergone an extensive eight-year restoration costing £600,000 that has seen it become wheelchair accessible thanks to an electric lift in the double doors of the luggage compartment, as well as widened internal doorways. It is believed that this is therefore the first accessible Pullman carriage of its type in the world.
